The design concept of the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train integrates modern technology with unique cultural elements of Xinjiang, aiming to provide passengers with a comfortable and exotic travel space. The train offers various types of carriages, including: luxury observation carriages, business class cabins, standard sleeper carriages, dining carriages, bars, children’s playgrounds, wellness and leisure areas. Each carriage has a different theme and is carefully designed to meet the needs of different travelers.
Luxury observation carriage
Allowing passengers to enjoy spacious seats while not missing any fleeting scenery outside the window
Business class cabin
Adopting an independent seat design, each seat can be adjusted to a comfortable resting position, equipped with personal reading lights, charging sockets, and privacy shields, providing an excellent choice for business travelers or those seeking private space.
Standard sleeper carriage
Although it is named ‘standard’, its comfort far exceeds traditional expectations. With soft mattresses, cozy lighting, and personal storage space, long-distance travel feels like a cozy home. Some sleeper carriages even have panoramic windows, allowing passengers to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Xinjiang while resting.
Featured themed carriages
This is a major highlight of the ‘Tianshan Train’. Designed according to the regional characteristics of Xinjiang, such as ethnic-themed carriages and food experience carriages, it allows passengers to experience the diverse culture and cuisine of Xinjiang on the train.
Heading south all the way to Kashgar, the beautiful scenery along the way is breathtaking and truly a visual feast.
Tianshan Train booking process and booking precautions
1: Since the Tianshan Train is a customized tourist train, it is recommended to book through designated formal travel agency channels such as Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, which cooperates with the railway bureau. It is recommended to call the official booking center of the Tianshan Train and New Oriental Express at Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency for consultation and booking: 180 95969599
2: The Tianshan Train does not sell train tickets separately and must be booked together with tourism products. When booking, ID card information is required, and a unified electronic contract on the national tourism supervision platform must be signed.
3: Determine the specific price based on the travel date and selected route. Prices may vary due to the peak and off-peak seasons of tourism in Xinjiang and different travel dates; select the appropriate travel time and tourism product.
4: Provide your personal name and ID card number to customer service to confirm the departure time and tourism product. Prepay the train ticket deposit, sign the unified electronic contract for national tourism service supervision, and complete the registration.
Since the Tianshan Train is a customized tourist train that operates regularly with only 2 trains per month and 12 trains per year, it is recommended to book in advance to avoid affecting your travel plans. Due to the difficulty in obtaining tickets for the New Oriental Express, based on sales and booking situations in the past two years, it is recommended to consult customer service in advance for detailed itinerary and cost information to better plan your trip.
